Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at State of Michigan Department of Technology for less than a year
Pros
You get to understand a lot of projects which the government is working on
Cons
One of the worst places to work. The timings are extremely rigid with very little flexibility. There was no training plan in place. Manager gots irritated when I asked for work. Interns are left hanging most of the time with no clear direction. Also if you have a problem with the manager, your voice is not heard. As an intern, you are completely at the whims of the manager. Worst is the Exit interview is not held by the HR department but the manager itself. This place is definitely not for people who are ambitious. It is totally for people who want a relaxed work place.

Pros
Stable employer. Insulated from economic downturns.
Cons
The pay leaves something to be desired. Even though you are hourly, you're unofficially expected to work extra hours as needed, often without pay as overtime is rarely allowed.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at State of Michigan Department of Technology part-time for less than a year
Pros
Its a great opportunity to get experience in IT-in my case I needed on the job experience with application development. You get to see a lot of potential career paths and the hours are extremely flexible.
Cons
Students are treated somewhat as less of employees. You also cannot work over 129 hours a month-this includes months where there are 31 days. You do the same work as regular employees but get paid far less. Obviously no benefits or holiday pay of any kind.

I have been working at State of Michigan Department of Technology
Pros
Stable but NOT the 'golden ticket' it used to be.
Cons
Inconsistent from working in Lansing to Warren, MI. Things 'get done' in Lansing where in Warren they're over worked.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI worked at State of Michigan Department of Technology
Pros
I set my own hours and I had a lot of down time to do my homework, read, and do a lot of things that I wanted. Low supervision and allowed me to help around the office.
Cons
Little supervision with little responsibility. I would ask for work to do but would get very few assignments. They expected me to initiate my own work/projects, but I never knew where to really fit in to the office.
